Sheet (TSV, CSV) editing in Vim?
I have a few TSV files that have a few columns, but a lot of rows. I bumped into sc-im, which seems okay, but it got me thinking: is there a mode plugin for Vim that would render a TSV or CSV nicely, with columns and sticky headers and stuff? Because there's a million plugins, I actually haven't found any that I would immediately trust, hence this topic, looking for recommendations
It's a bit funny, but the only reason I'm looking for something based on Vim and not something TUI-based (such as the aforementioned sc-im) is due to the learning curve. I'm neither a teenage kid nor an old fart, so I don't have a single spare minute to learn a new thing, so as much a thing looks like operates like another thing I know, I'm taking it.

You said you don't want to learn new thing, but formatting csv and piping the output into a new text file is a relatively beginner-friendly application for awk.
